Costco lasagna.  And that big ass All-American chocolate cake they sell there.  The one that's literally dipped in chocolate like a Hostess donut gem.  It's insane.

To ease the pain is right!  half a grand in two days and I only slightly feel better. 


Today was:
Earth defense force and condemned because they were in the bargain bin and that made me sad.  Also advanced wars ds.


I think I might still buy pheonix write 3 and Dante's The new life if I can not think about the 30 shipping fuckage.

the Algebraist is okay--but it's kind of meandery in the middle and I also guessed the plot twist really early on (thanks to being good at algebra, lol)

if you want good Banks SF, go Culture. Use of Weapons is the best SF book of the past 20 years, bar maybe Light, and even then I think Use of Weapons is probably better. Player of Games is a fun romp. Consider Phlebas, the first Culture book, is space opera (and what Halo cribbed everything from) Excession and Look to Windward are both slightly slighter but still excellently entertaining.

basically--read Use of Weapons, then come back when you want more Culture

I bought Dexter Season 1. I'm watching the finale, but my roommate just walked in and I don't want her to think that I'm a weirdo-serial-killer watching person. You know what I'm talking about. lawl

Just like everyone watches "A Haunting" on discovery channel. No ones going to admit it, because ghosts are unpopular.
